Durant (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the previous two games with an ankle injury, Durant is expected to suit up Wednesday. If the superstar forward is upgraded to available, he will likely replace Chimezie Metu in the starting five. Durant will have an opportunity to play alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal for the first time this season.

Durant (ankle) is considered day-to-day, and coach Frank Vogel won't rule him out from playing Wednesday against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although there's a chance Durant could play Wednesday, Vogel hinted that it's more likely we see him return Friday against the Knicks. Durant tested the ankle Tuesday with some isolation drills, but he didn't feel comfortable enough to play versus Golden State.

Durant (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Durant will miss his second straight game Tuesday, and his status for Wednesday against the Nets is in the air. The Suns at least seem to be considering Durant day-to-day after he got in a limited practice Monday. Head coach Frank Vogel also said he doesn't believe Durant is dealing with a long-term injury. With Durant sidelined, Bradley Beal (back) could step into a sizable scoring role on offense alongside Devin Booker as Beal makes his return from a 12-game absence.

Durant (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Monday and is questionable for Tuesday's matchup versus the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant missed Friday's loss to the Kings and didn't practice Sunday, but he took a step forward with limited participation Monday. However, Grayson Allen (groin) was also limited and has been ruled out for Tuesday. If Durant is cleared to suit up, it'll be the first time Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker will share the court this year.

Durant (ankle) didn't practice Sunday, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant missed Friday's game due to a right ankle sprain and may be sidelined again Tuesday versus Golden State. His official status for that contest will be released Monday afternoon. While Durant isn't trending in the right direction, Bradley Beal (back) is. The latter has missed 12 straight games due to a back strain but logged multiple full practices in recent days.

Durant has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings due to an ankle sprain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant appeared in each of the Suns' last four games and didn't appear to have significant limitations, as he averaged 29.5 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game. He'll be unavailable for at least one matchup, which could lead to increased run for Keita Bates-Diop and Nassir Little.

Durant ended with 31 points (12-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Durant did it all for Phoenix in a losing effort, leading the squad in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three en route to posting his eighth game with 30 or more points over his last 10 contests. Durant, who scored 22 of his 31 points in the second half, has recorded at least 30 points, seven rebounds and four assists in three games this season.

Durant contributed 27 points (10-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Durant was coming off a struggling shooting display against the Nuggets on Friday, but he bounced back less than 24 hours after that loss and delivered an excellent display in an easy win for the Suns. Durant is one of the most consistent scorers in the league, and an off night will not affect his fantasy upside, as he remains one of the best offensive weapons in the league. The numbers back that up, as Durant is averaging 32.4 points per game over his last 10 appearances.

Durant closed with 30 points (8-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-13 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
On paper, Durant had another strong showing with his 11th 30-point performance of the campaign. However, the star forward -- and one of the greatest scorers the NBA has ever seen -- didn't make a single field goal in the second half and failed to convert several good looks in the fourth quarter when the Suns were pushing for a comeback. Durant is not expected to be fazed by one rough stretch, however, and fantasy managers should trust him to bounce back moving forward.

Durant supplied 30 points (11-30 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-105 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old superstar had missed the prior two games with a foot injury, and Durant tried to make up for lost time by attempting a season-high 30 shots. While he was far from efficient with that volume, he did extend his streak of games with at least 30 points to six and his streak of games with multiple three-pointers to nine. Durant is mostly thriving to begin his first full season with the Suns, and his 31.3 points per game would be his highest average since he led the NBA with 32.0 PPG in 2013-14 for the Thunder.
